Jazz's Trey Lyles: Knocks down three treys in preseason loss

Lyles accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 88-84 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

Analysis:

Even though Derrick Favors (knee) missed yet another contest, coach Quin Snyder hasn't wavered from keeping Lyles on the second unit, his expected home to begin the regular season, assuming Favors is deemed ready to go. Lyles doesn't seem to have been slighted by the lack of promotion, and has instead let his play speak for itself. In just 20.3 minutes per game during the preseason, Lyles has averaged 10.0 points and 6.5 rebounds. Perhaps more impressively, he's been the team's best threat from distance, hitting 11-of-24 (45.8%) of those tries.
